The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has planned a resurfacing and restriping project on US 411, extending from the Sevier County line into the Sevierville city limits. The initial plan proposed a three-lane configuration, consisting of one lane in each direction with a center turn lane for the length of the project. However, both the City of Sevierville and Sevier County expressed concerns regarding the impact of this design—particularly at the intersection of SR 416 (Pittman Center Road)—where the transition from two eastbound lanes to one eastbound lane frequently results in delays caused by this bottleneck.
